If you're using a van staal reel there is too much play with a fuji seat. the reel will slide to each side even if it's matched with the appropriate size seat. as a result it does not always line up with you guides. i have been using aluminum seats lately for that reason. the biggest problem with them on a surf real is that if you use cork take there will be a big lip where the seat meets the handle. you can eliminate that by using a small foam foregrip over the cork tape or by going with a cork grip.
also, like f18 said they do get cold. doesn't bother me because i where a glove.
